TOR for Kids: A Little Ring

The unique One Ring rules set invites tinkering and secondary creation. Whilst The One Ring works brilliantly as written, we provide this forum for those who want to make their own home-brewed versions of the rules. Note that none of these should be taken as 'official'.

Wow, very cool Zed!


Regarding the original topic for this post...well, sort of... last evening I played Hobbit Tales with my 8, 6, and 4 year old (first play for all of us). We actually kept score, and due to rolling several eyes while playing Hazards and drawing up all the "3" point tiles, my 8 year old won by a huge margin. It was fun; they still need help adding more detail to each part of their stories and connecting them in a logical fashion, but I think they enjoyed it. I helped my 4 year old on his turn, since he cannot read yet.
Cool. We (Dillon, Westley and myself) played a couple weekends back; I won but they had fun messing with each other.

Makes sense! My 6 year old's main remark was how much he liked the Hazards.

A Tolkien edition of Munchkins would rock.

If you could figure out how to get the game to last 15-30 minutes max.

My kids grew up playing Munchkin; I'd love to see a Tolkien version!

Awesome hearing about your games with your kids, Falenthal and Blubbo! :D

Nice "Little Ring" rules set. Haven't tried it yet, but it reads well.

I agree that a Tolkien Munchkin game would be awesome!
